储藏柜

Designed by Jean Brandely French
 Woodwork by Charles-Guillaume Diehl French
 Mounts and large central plaque by Emmanuel Frémiet French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 556

这件储藏柜的原型在1867年的巴黎世界博览会展出时，引起的反响并不太好；该原型目前藏于巴黎的奥赛博物馆。但迪尔想必对展览结果是满意的，因为他为自己做了一个几乎完全相同的柜子，也就是图中这个。这个储藏柜从形状到装饰都是新颖奇特的，它有一块中央饰板，其中的画面让人想起古代传说，同时表达了强烈的法国民族主义情感。画面描绘了国王墨洛维在451年战胜匈人阿提拉之后的庆祝活动。墨洛维站在一辆战车上面，驾车的人正驱赶公牛越过一位死去的敌人的尸体。
